ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The best art is like an iceberg. Cold and impenetrable, diffident and austere—inhuman, an immense glass-eye whose dull and lifeless gaze contemplates the abyss. The work’s vacant stare forms a frigid surface that ineligible, resistant, and indifferent to its imminent destruction as well as the currents that buoy and shape its silent migration towards doom. Dreaming of wreckage, corroded by external forces, and wracked by hidden fissures and internal weaknesses, the immensity of its form is inseparable from the process of its dissolution. If society thinks in gold, as M. Teste once remarked, art thinks in ice—a current that melts in your hands and proves rather useful in chilling a glass of whisky. The exhibition includes work by Ludwig Fischer, James Johnson, Jacque Liu, Kirk Loubier, and Dustin Sparks.
